KEY2 LE could be my next phone

Here's why. Better reception. Hoping the plastic body will improve both cell and wi-fi. Modern apps. Office life is making me reconsider the need to have access to Android apps. Reasonable price. I think I will continue buying my phones outright and staying off contract. Matte keyboard. I really like this improvement of the keyboard.
But here's why I might not. I own a Passport. Giving up gestures, peek, wide format, bb10 hub, local calendar , dual speakers, won't be easy.

So I'm the same as you, it's just that swipe left gesture I loved. But just to let you know, i just learned on another thread here that you can use either alt or shift + delete key to "delete the last word". That will be good enough for me, and in fact might be even better, because it achieves the same result as fast, and I won't be accidentally swiping word suggestions I don't want! (btw, I dint remember if it was the alt or shift they said worked to do this)
